New description:
This patch, which started out with the sole intension of building iconv on
HP-UX, with a very trivial change, now has a number of changes to
generally improve the package.
* Use {{{$MAKE}}} instead of {{{make}}} to permit parallel builds.
* Install {{{iconv}}} on HP-UX in addition to Solaris and Cygwin.
* Make this build properly 64-bit on all versions of Solaris and
!OpenSolaris - prior to this, there was a problem on some systems - see
#9718.
* A cleanup of spkg-install, spkg-check and SPKG.txt was also undertaken.

Comment:
I'm now marking this as needs review.
I've changed the priority from minor to major, as this resolves a problem
(#9718) on 64-bit Solaris, and there is a concerted effort to now get Sage
to build on 64-bit Solaris and !OpenSolaris. Prior to this, the ticket was
originally to build iconv on HP-UX, which was a minor issue.
